@Alaskaman66:Power management and the analog motor control. I am working on a device that will control a hydronic system can motor to achieve a flow rate of 2 to 4 ft/sec, which is the optimum flow rate for a heating pressurized system.

@Alasmaman66- Sorry for the misspost earlier: this should have gone to you not Rob.

Proprietary issues do crop up in some communications systems. Most often this is found in connectiong to line card 'busses' that connect cards in a chassis using 'custom' interfaces. This is getting less common as standards are now being used even for these line card to line card connections. Now that FPGAs have so much SerDes capability it gets even easier to have standard interfaces everywhere...

@jarabian- Power dissipation on the Tabula devices in't that much different than on others. The trick is making the context switch a low power activity. If it contributed too much to switching current you could run into power issues.

Tool price ranges tend to start out fairly inexpensive- you can usually get evaluation version of the software. Some of the more targeted solutions (like those we saw today) can cost in the mutiple $1000 range, but can be well worth it if you can save a significant amount of design time or BOM cost by moving to an 'out of the box' device.

thanks sir rob...I came late because of taking some physical fitness with my friends, just remembered that there's schedule when I came home...I know the lesson is very informative, Iwill repeat all those presentation of sir warren through archived...anyway, thanks sir warren for sharing us, a well-informative and great presentation...

thanks, of course, to digikey and design news for allowing this continuing education to us, it's a great pleasure....thanks sir rob for being with us in facilitating the job well done in week.
